This One Pre-Trip Inspection May Have Saved Us Thousand$$$ & Prevented a Major Disaster RV Lifestyle

[@lorip2109]

Both of you have such a great attitude - finding something positive to be thankful about. The problems are solved and you’re safely back on the road home. Your channel is a pleasure to watch!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Thank you So very much

[@barackmycat9448]

Love the RV cats. I never saw a weight that was loose like that. They found it though. whew....

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

My first loose weight, you learn something new everyday

[@susanstrickland6774]

Yes, you have to have good tires. Safety first, always. Lil frustrating, but at the end of the day its good. Nice employees at LS. Dinner looked good. 🙂👍🙏.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

You got that right!

[@gbmoves7902]

You have to have good rubber on the road. Too many people don't take care of their rubbers. Thank you guys.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Very true! And thank you

[@hoss1003]

Glad you got that figured out. That's why, I always ask for glue on weights, that go on the inside of the wheel. I also carry tire repair kits, with lots of plugs and glue. They're great to have handy. I've even used them on side walls, where I've had to use four plugs and a lot of glue to stop a bad leak, where a rock flipped up and cut the side wall of the tire. Good luck and God Bless Y'all on the rest of your trip.. Say hello to Punkin..

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@MariaCierra-k9d]

Oh my goodness, I'm so glad you got it taken care of and figured what was doing that noise. Stay safe. Love you three.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Just glad it was something easy.

[@gracecallowayable]

Well…I learnt a lesson today from you guys!!! Thank you so much…never would have thought of that… Awesome!!!👠🚌👠

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Our pleasure!

[@badgerpa9]

The white moths get into flour and things so make sure that is closed up tight. Put some cattle rubber mat around the blocks and a handle and you have a great block for under the 5th wheel. Stay safe and healthy.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

We are so glad all the moths have gone by by.😁😁😁😁😁

[@glenbo2464]

Good tires are a must for me on anything im riding in or on ! We have used Les Schwab since the 80s , never had one of their tires blowout and they always fix flats for free. We have a car with aluminum rims , they replaced the tires and it had a click to it also. I took it back and asked if it could be the tire weights and it was. They were the stick on type on the inside of the wheel and were rubbing the brake caliper ! lol

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Good tires is a must for sure.

[@teenamarie1467]

Love Les Schwab. I actually met Les many years ago when we both raised Angus cattle. Good thing you do those walk arounds. WTG Scott.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@janetjacoby9507]

I was told that at any rest stop nation wide you are allowed to overnight it. Unless posted. I've never been booted out. Y'all are so cute. Stay safe. See you down the road!❤❤

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

We've never had a problem at and if them also.

[@ronniebatiesr4491]

Thanks guys people don’t double check their work anymore blessings for the road 🙏🙏🐶

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Thank you 👍👍👍👍👍

[@1ladyinpurple]

I’ve been on that drive so many times and it never gets old. I love driving from Redding to Portland. Some great little towns along the way.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

I totally agree!

[@exploringrvdude7817]

Wow, I've never seen Lake Shasta that full. But I do sure miss seeing the Pacific Northwest, great to see it in your video.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

The lake looked so awesome

[@barbrabrurrier7548]

I bet you hold the record of visiting 3 of them in one day

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

So true 😁😁😁 to tell the truth I just wanted more coffee.

[@notlostjustwandering218]

Too funny. As soon as you said it was making a noise, I said It's a weight! 😂 I had a similar experience when I had my tires rotated a few months back.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

We learned a lot from this day.

[@OhHellMichelle]

And to think way back in the early 80’s we loved that sound by putting playing cards in our bicycle spokes! Free! 😂 Glad y’all are safe that’s all that matters to me 😊 ✌️

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

So true 😊😊😊

[@skepticalmom2948]

Wow, tires can be so scary. I’ve had so many flats of different kinds I am very aware of that danger. Take care you two! God be with you!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

We have been very lucky so far.

[@KatherineWalden]

Oh my gosh, I’m only 3/4 of the way through here and my stress level has gone in sky high. I can’t imagine how your day was.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

It all worked out good in the end. 😁😁😁

[@happycamper608]

I can’t open my bathroom door without putting my slide out. Punkin is so cute.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

👍👍👍

[@mlucero6021]

I agree with Les Schwabs..they were there for me when I needed them. I was working a traveling assignment in Fresno, CA. Such relief! to find them.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

They have always been good to me.

[@kiza4178]

Gooid to see you two having a little fun, go with the flow! Les Schwab should give you a punch card, for visiting so many towns!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

True that 😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@SAP64]

Wow, the size of that bolt. When you finally figured it out and got back in the truck, the look on Pumpkin's face said it all "are be done now", Glad to see your on the road again safely.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

It was a long day but it worked out great.

[@stevexray6253]

You get mixed emotions at times like that. It hurts your feelings to have to spend so much money but you are also thankful that you have enough money to pay for it. Safe travels and no more vehicle problems for a while.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

We are vary grateful all worked out.

[@maryrecoy1616]

I love the lil dog...I had one just like her and he was 🐈‍⬛ black....his name was sugar bear but as he aged I called him my salt n Peppa suge with his lil gray n white on his black...I miss him.. he hated noise n storms just like you're punkin...safe travels!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@kimmihelitch9849]

Les Schwab are my guys and gals! I've had an acct with them since I was 16 and I'm 63 now, so a very long time! They have always treated me well. ❤ 🚙0

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

I started my account when I was 22.

[@rvpandamonium]

Wow... that was an ordeal 🤪 thankfully it was something simple 😊❤ and glad you had a wonderful birthday breakfast 🎉

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

It's funny how things workout . We had a big plate of biscuits and gravy.

[@maebellaakamaegirl190]

GOD BLESS YOU BOTH AND PUMPKIN 💯💯

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Thank you, and you also 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@OwnedByACatNamedC.C.]

I love your attitudes in this frustrating (to say the least) situation with your tires,even more than anything else in the video. I need to work on how I deal with stress. It stresses me out just thinking about it!😂What’s your secret? 😉😆 It’s a good thing that you got to see beautiful Lake Tahoe first!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

I really try not to stress out anymore. My old job was enough stress to last a life time. 😁😁😁

[@mobileliving2764]

We stopped at that rest stop. It was the best welcome center that we have been to.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

I agree. 👍👍👍

[@maggieesquivel4533]

Eric knows how to sell. Great service.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Great guy. So helpful and friendly

[@MikeandLisasExcellentAdventure]

Happy Birthday! Yeah, when I heard that clicking, that's what I thought it might be if it was t a rock. Glad it wasn't serious. One little thing can make a long day for sure.. lol. Safe travels!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Thank you 👍👍👍👍

[@markshelhart8338]

My buddy in HS dad owned a gas station that sold used cars and he always got the worst of the lot to drive. He drove an old Plymouth that burned oil so fast that he carried around a couple of gallons of used drained oil from the station with him and he'd have to stop pretty frequently to add it.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

👍👍👍 love it.

[@valerieforsyth992]

You guys are so amazing. It’s so neat the way you travel with your. We traveled with our cat and she loved going to hotels. We just lost her at 17 and traveling won’t be the same.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

So sorry for your lost. Sending a few hugs 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@billbradley2480]

I’ve been a Les Schwab customer since I moved to Washington almost 30 years ago. True they’re expensive. Great customer service. Every time I go there I say “darn it I forgot to bring a bag for popcorn.” Their popcorn bags are so tiny I have to get 7 or 8 refills. Plus Les Scwhab does lots of Brake Jobs so they’re good at it.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

I forget the popcorn last time

[@cluke4248]

I live in the Santiam Canyon east of Salem Oregon and we had the Beachie Creek fire in 2020....devastating to several small towns in our canyon and the rural areas around them. People are still getting rebuilt.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

So sad

[@missmel6528]

Fun to see my home town of Phoenix Oregon, also my regular Les Schwab

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

So loving it out here on the Oregan Coast.

[@kathrynsterk1545]

Moth Balls!!😂 We found moth larvae in between pillows stored in cabinet in our RV. How they got there who knows.😂 Luckily we got them out of rig before the hatched...always an adventure.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

We are bug free now. What a pain the bugs were.

[@mastersparkyful]

I bought tires on amazon they shipped to les schwab and the cost per tire was 20 bucks each to mount and the total was under 500 four new truck tires.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

That's a great price.👍👍👍

[@martykong3592]

:) THANKS MUCH for sharing! What an adventure of 3 Les Schwabs in a day :) HOPE Lunch at Black Bear was good :) ALL the BEST and safe travels ! ! ! Cheers : )

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Thankyou so much for watching

[@nancymedeiros5268]

Wow glad all is good 👍 🙏

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

A great day after all.

[@Power19501]

There are days like this but it’s better to be safe than sorry . Tires are a must that they be good. We used Les Schwab. all the time when we lived in WA state . Now that we have moved out of WA we stay with Discount Tire because they are all over the country.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

At the end of the day all was perfect

[@cybernode33]

As an avid RVer and outdoor enthusiast, I've had my fair share of grills. I was a long-time Qstoves user until I switched to Asmoke. The difference was night and day! The convenience of the Asmoke pellet grill is unrivaled. With the digital controller, I can set and maintain my desired cooking temperature without constant monitoring and adjusting - a huge time saver on road trips. The variety of wood pellet flavors has also taken my grilling game to the next level. My personal favorite is applewood. The compact size and light weight make it perfect for RV trips and the battery offers up to 10 hours of runtime which is more than enough for a great cookout. Plus, the clean-up is a breeze compared to Qstoves. With Asmoke, I feel like I've upgraded my RV lifestyle. #Asmoke.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@michelleoglesbee-flores2518]

Great tips. Will remember to do that when take my rv out more. Welcome back to the PNW. Bet you will enjoy being back to your property soon.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

We are getting close 👍👍👍👍👍

[@punkinsal]

That bolt looks like the one from the underside bolt you are missing

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

I was thinking the same thing

[@joanyoder5880]

My daughter and I were ahead of you by a couple weeks. We exclaimed about Shasta Lake too.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

It's so awesome to see the lake full.

[@Roadtripmischief]

I can relate to this video! That noise would have been annoying! 😂 You were lucky to have so many tire shops on your route!! I'm glad it worked out. Biscuits and gravy made it all worthwhile! Happy Birthday!!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

So glad it was a small issue.

[@markparr7224]

I used to swear by LS, until they tried to charge my mom $2500 for a brake job she didn't need, and has been driving on the same brakes for over 5 years now... They also tried to sell her a new wheel and tire that was a spare, and wouldn't hold air, but I cleaned off the corrosion with a wire wheel, and then it held air for years after. Took me ten minutes. If it was my shop I would have done that with no charge.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

They did fix the trailer tire for free.

[@milacy3]

Glad you got the puncture fixed. It’s always scarey when you’re traveling. Never heard of Les Schwab but you’re a good advertisement for them! Be safe!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

I was so happy they could fix the tire

[@jackie6582]

Oh it’s beautiful views❤

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

It really was.👍👍👍

[@evelyndunham5135]

I’m definitely going to Les Swabb if I ever need service ❤

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

They have been good to us.

[@fdale83]

Hankook Dyna-Pro 2 are what I put on my 2005 gmc 2500hd for the last 15yrs. And I just replaced the original tires on my 2021 Chevy 3500hd with Dyna- Pro. My daughter has them on her truck and jeep also. Never had an issue with them they ride smooth no noise and wear evenly. Also I use tape weights don’t like the pound on ones. They wear the finish off your rims.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

I think tapped weights would be better.

[@barbarasummers280]

when I was really poor, I used to go to Bob''s Tires in Red Bluff, CA and they had a slogan, Less Schwab, More Bob! They were great too! But I now go to Les Scwab as got my tires there to move to Washington, and they are very good!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

That's great, love it. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@connielahman5725]

Wow what a stressful day but glad it all worked out and you got a good meal.Hope you find a good place for a great night sleep and start over in the morning.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

All went great the rest of the day.

[@StepvanDan]

I am glad you’re on top of things and safe and sound. Yes KZbin pumpkin love you guys big hugs from Sarasota Florida today.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Hola and hugs back 🤗🤗🤗

[@gregdawildmanfast5643]

Les Schwab is Awesome I've used them since the early to mid 80's happy all the time....

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Us also.

[@1ladyinpurple]

Black Bear Diner!!! Aren’t they just the best!! 😊

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Such good food. And we have never had a bad experience

[@3generations393]

Y'all have such an awesome positive attitude 🙏🙏❣️ Today (friday) in prayer day for our "Mother Earth" 🙌 ❌⭕, Iris and Little One 👋🐾

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@nyakundibose6972]

The Way you'll present the videos is so true and entertaining.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Thank you and we are so glad you enjoyed

[@ambersteele9855]

Eric at les Schwab didn't take off or put the lug nuts on right. If he did the pickup then that might be it. Supposed to crisscross lug nuts when taking them off and on. Also tires are supposed to be retorqued after 50 or so miles. And I don't see where they torqued the tires at all. Gotta watch these tire people like a hawk. Stay safe!

[@maryvalent961]

Scavenged firewood! That’s a good day! WTG Scotty!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Great fire wood. Nice and clean.

[@debbiedusterhoft2870]

Great entertaining video. Glad it all worked out for you. Scot remember we are the ones that feel the pain when we over do something( like pushing a truck). Take care.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

I felt like I tried pushing a brick wall. 😁😁😁😁

[@patsykluting-lucas3804]

Les Schwab will check tires free and batteries! They'll add air and fix most nail issues. Safe travels.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

They have treated us fair for years.

[@janesecaraway3995]

Wow!! What a day!! Soooo stressful 😫 😪. Yall handled things quite well in my opinion....it could have happened at any tire dealer! If yall are satisfied with the work the Les people give, that's all that matters! Love yall 💓! Happy trails! ❤😊

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

All worked out good.

[@stephanieellison8913]

Good luck

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Thank you 😊😊😊

[@scarlethenderson6510]

I would have got in that dumpster too those are great for chocking wheels or holding up your trailers hitch or oh my goodness so many things you can use those for I would be excited about those too, again love you guys cuz you're always helping people I know that gentleman appreciated the help, I was wondering if maybe one of the balance weights had come loose on the rim because it was an odd noise

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Loving the blocks. And a few made a great fire.

[@suemurphy1730]

33:52 Oh, to be able to still sit like that... but the hips/ knees/ ankles hurt just looking at him. lol

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@m.d.grimes1622]

In England they spell tire with a y, tyre....I think the right spelling for this video is definitely tire as in "tired." You know low sugar from not eating can stress you out as well, sometimes we become testy with each other when we are hungry...it's a chemical thing. 😁😁😎😎👍👍

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

That makes sense 👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗

[@queenbear4581]

Clever way of get someone to moving!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

😁😁👍👍😊😊

[@carolinefreeebyrdacw13ly]

I love the Black Bear Diner - best breakfast

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

So good yum.

[@gracierose3076]

I didn't say that about the tire. But I said a little prayer!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Thank you So much 🤗🤗🤗

[@sandrap3047]

What a crazy day! Glad you were able to figure out what the problem was! Breakfast looked yummy! We never had biscuits and gravy at my house growing up but my Grandmother, that I would go spend a month with every summer, made biscuits and gravy every morning. I was in Heaven. Love seeing sweet Punkin! You should do a video of just Punkin! She’s so darn cute! ❤

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

She is become a big part of our lives for sure

[@bszardom]

Happy Birthday!!!!! Love you both! Thanks for the videos!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Thanks so much!!

[@linmurray436]

Sounds like the first Les Schwab was in Ashland not Grants Pass. Grants Pass is 30 miles north of Medford.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Correct .

[@juliehiestand8180]

Sure 🎉happy birthday 🎂 to both of you

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Thank you Thank you

[@justlucky13]

Good habit Scott Walk around inspections pre trip during trip every fuel up is my routine What a simple pain in the brain tire weight Welcome to Oregon I've been beach camping the last few nights Driftwood Beach looking at ocean now Peace

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

It's one of my favorite

[@scarlethenderson6510]

Okay now I'm at the part of the video where it's figured out and I was right cool but that's what it sounded like to me the weight was loose on the rim

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

It was a first time for us. We learned a lot that day.

[@pennylee6569]

Awesome video see ya Terri an Scotty an pumpkin hugs always ❤❤❤

[@csmith20020]

I had a whole bearing race go into one of my tires. Les Schwab took such good care of me with the new tire and everything.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Love hearing that.

[@brendawhisenhunt8444]

I learned so much from you guys.. safe travels North.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Happy we can help in anyway

[@melodygrandinetti5016]

Things happen, just know he's got your back 😊

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@akgobears]

Dont know where you folks spend the nite on this I-5 route through Oregon....We have done it several times to and from the Bay Area to Portand to visit realives...Also the Oregon Coast...Was wondering if ya have ever spent the night at the Cracker Barrel in Medford or Seven Feathers Casino In Canyonville....Both have free RV parking ...We have used Seven Feathers several times...They also have a full RV park across the freeway along with a I-5 rest area if so inclined to go with that free RV lot by the casino and Burger King....

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

We stay at the Seven Feathers every time. It's the perfect stopping point.

[@cluke4248]

We just spent 1200 on our 4x4f150 and 3000 on our class A for tires....I know the pain😢

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

It's crazy the price of tires any more. And why does a battery cost 300 dollars 🤔🤔

[@auntmaryspals7978]

In recent years, they have been rebuilding mobile homes in my park. I broke a record by getting new tires and two days later I had a flat. The guys working on the trailers were very careless with their nails, screws and other debris left on the streets. Thank goodness they're gone.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

That's not fun dealing with stuff all the road.

[@zackmax7184]

Sorry that this is Kinda Late. I had Cataract Surgery on My Right Eye I have worn Glasses Since I was 4 years Old and I am still going to need a thin pair for up close stuff like My Phone.

good vid on travels keep up the travel vids thanks lee

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

Thanks, will do!

[@kimmihelitch9849]

I thought about the tire weight getting loose.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

We learned something new

[@plove523]

Dang that was a huge bolt! I thought you could only rotate tires front/back, not right/left?

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

I don't know, but all seems ok.

[@johnlarabee5835]

Scott and Terri If you are heading to your property in Washington and find you need any tools let me know. I help you out if I can. Also I have nothing but good things to say about Les Schwab. Don in Aberdeen has always taken good care of my motor home and my Jeep. You should still have my number.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

That would be so awesome. We should be there in a week or so. I will have Teri check for your number. Thank you. I have a feeling my grass is two feet tall 😁😁😁.

[@gayerogers9406]

Prettier as you head north

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

So so true.

[@craigtarbox3499]

I don't even know what to say about all that , except to say glad you figured it out !!!!!

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

What a way to spend our mourning 😁😁

[@rogergraves242]

The rocks do cause noise.

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

That's what I was thinking at first, never had a loose weight.

[@leonaweltzer4023]

Good ole I5

[@DestinationOpenRoad]

So true. I get white knuckled the whole time
